By what measures? Please support that claim.

The only person I've heard assert that is Sean Hannity.

“The fourth quarter of 2008, right after the Lehman failure, now shows an 8.9% annual rate of decline in GDP and now represents the worst single-quarter decline in GDP since the 10.4% drop in the first quarter of 1958, exceeding the 7.9% decline in the second quarter of 1980.”
